I'm Watching the Jousting at Warwick Castle with a Costa Cappuccino

horses, lances, arrows, fire
they reenact the war of the roses

the outdoor setting
has been erected next to Costa

outside on the ground
napkins, zarfs and stirrers 

and half the audience gets their
medieval caffeine hit 

that encourages us to yell and whoo-hoo
and pay attention to history

they encourage us to cheer and boo
and after all these years

with a cappuccino in my hand
i bellow 'long live the king' 

and it's socially okay
